After a year of drafts and revision, my illustrated novel in verse is close to being picked up by a publisher. Soon I’ll start the process of redrafting the text and crafting the illustrations with the team of an editor and art director.
I feel like I’ve finally swung and hit the piñata…and revealed the unicorn within.
Now the real work begins.
This comic appears in my book THE ART OF LIVING: REFLECTIONS ON MINDFULNESS AND THE OVEREXAMINED LIFE.
The next book in my series with Abrams ComicArts, THINKING ABOUT THINKING, will be published this Spring and is available for pre-order. Find it at Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or better yet—at your favorite independent bookstore.
I just love your work! Subtle in delivery, yet with a profound message. I've recently come across a few insightful teachers who are now showing us that having everything too easily, and even achieving our goals is not as good for us. as we imagine. It's in the struggle, the falling backwards, getting up again, it's in the struggle, that we stretch and grow and when we feel most fulfilled. From my experience, they're right. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work Grant.
So many ideas, so many books! I’m very happy to have stumbled across you. Thanks so much for sharing these all with us. Best of luck dealing with the unicorn!!
